English Learners

The Perkins Local School District’s English Learner (EL) Program plan follows state guidelines in providing service to Limited English Proficient (LEP) students. English language learners have equal access to a quality education that enables them to progress academically while learning English. The goal of the Perkins EL Program is to provide high-quality instruction in the English language domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Similarly, we strive to provide appropriate modifications and accommodations in the mainstream classrooms so that English Learners may develop the English language skills necessary to successfully achieve both academically in school and socially in the United States.
